“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Hi H, words cannot describe! I absolutely loved the Mansion, it is by far, the coolest, greatest, and funkiest place I've ever crashed! Wow, great work all around, I am so impressed with the class and detail. Thank you for the hospitality -- I've been telling everyone!”

Jordan Davis - Fort Smith, AR on May 27, 2023 said:

“You'll never find everything and quite possibly not find the same thing twice. I loved getting lost and then finding myself again. Every room was carefully created, constantly changing, and so much fun to pilfer through. Expect steep prices should you wish to take anything home, but the value for entry is well worth the sights you'll see!”

Troy McCool - Stafford, VA on May 27, 2023 said:

“A really cool experience if you are in the DC area!”

M. Torres on May 27, 2023 said:

“Great place to visit. Very unique and so much to see and read. Finding the secret doors and compartments alone can be extremely challenging. Some are obvious and others displayed as such. The restrooms are adorable and equally unique.Everyone should visit O-Street Mansion at least once!The parking situation can be pricey.Walkability: Extremely easy to get to on foot and parking distance.Noteworthy details: Everything in the mansion is for sale!”

Melinda Cotton - Allen, TX on May 27, 2023 said:

Bea Brodsky on Apr 25, 2023 said:

“I brought my 11 year old niece for her birthday. We were signed up for the Espionage/Spy hunt but honestly, she was more enraptured by just trying to find the secret doors! She had an absolute blast wandering around and finding them. She said "this place is so awesome" multiple times! She was so proud of herself for finding the wine cellar all by herself! We did manage to find some items on our Spy list and I was impressed with the list itself and all the bonuses you were also encouraged to find. We were easily there for 3 hours and never bored once. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, one gentleman even gave my niece a hint to help her find the Tinkerbell door because she was SO desperate to find it. I would recommend arriving earlier as it got a lot more crowded as the day went on. But all in all, it was a unique and fun experience that I definitely recommend!”

Marjorie Bossie on Apr 18, 2023 said:
